| I guess it's true - monkeys CAN ride bikes after all. 2009 version Well, hey, we're not talking about just any monkey - we're talking about me, JFB. As you can plainly see with your peepers, that's my bike. I do a lot bking. So much so that I've cracked my frame, not to mention that I'm already on my third set of cranks. Where have I gone on my bike? Well, just mere weeks after "acquiring" my bike, I decided to ride from Oceanside to San Diego which would take me 5 hours (hey, I was newbie) to complete 45 miles. Now, keep in mind that my bike is a ONE-SPEED so once you hit Torrey Pines, you have to get off and push at some point. I've also pedaled the Bayshore Bikeway. This little trip is 25 miles starting near Seaport Village (but first I gotta hit up some Ben and Jerry's, yo!) and ending up in Coronado. Now, bicycles are NOT allowed on the bridge so you have to take the looong way around. I've also done this round-trip so that's..umm..let me count my little tootsies here..oh yeah, 50 miles. Click the image below, if you care to. Here's a link with more details on the route: http://www.efgh.com/bike/rsdbay.htm I've also done the "Around Mission Bay" route. Cycling to and from the starting point, as well as all the side trips (none that involve a business that sells carne asada burritos because that's too much. Hey, you fart on your own damn bike!) involved, the distance came out to 33 miles. Here's a link with more details on the route: http://www.efgh.com/bike/rmbay.htm I've also done The Santa Ana Bicycle Trail which, after being dropped off in West Corona by the Metrolink (ok, forced off), is 35 miles to the ocean in Huntington Beach. I was also a part of the San Diego Midnight Madness ride. Plus, Bike The Bay. Hey! I'm keeping track of how many miles I ride each month. This information is very important to your life so write it down, you bustah! Jan through June - I wasn't keeping track but it had to be a couple hundred miles, at the very least. July '08 - 141 mi.

| Oh Damn - a new bike! Redline MonoCog 29er - single speed. |
| With hair like that, no wonder girls avoided me like the plague when I was younger. Now they just avoid me! |
